Career

Early years

Vita is a youth product of his local club Alençon, where he was considered a bright talent despite his short stature, and he joined the youth academy of Angers in 2016.[2] He was released after two years at the club, only to join Troyes' reserves in National 3.[2] He progressed quickly through the ranks at Troyes, eventually making his professional debut for the first team in Ligue 2 on 24 August 2020, starting at left-back in a 2–0 home win over Le Havre at Stade de l'Aube.[3] Vita made five appearances for Troyes.[1]

Bayern Munich

On 6 October 2020, Vita joined the Bayern Munich reserves on a three-year contract for a reported fee of €1.5 million.[4] He made his debut in the 3. Liga on 21 October 2020, replacing Alexander Lungwitz in the 28th minute of a 3–2 defeat against Viktoria Köln.[5] Four days later, he scored his first goal in a 2–0 victory against Waldhof Mannheim.[6] His impressive performances initially earned him a place on the first-team bench on 10 April 2021, in a 1–1 draw against Union Berlin, but he failed to make an appearance.[7]

Vita participated in the first-team preseason training camp in the summer of 2021.[8] He began his 2021–22 season in the Regionalliga Bayern with the reserves, as they had suffered relegation for the 3. Liga the season before.[9]

Barnsley (loan)

On 2 September 2021, Vita joined EFL Championship club Barnsley on loan for the rest of the season.[10][11] He did not make an appearance during his first months at the club, which manager Markus Schopp stated was due to the coaching staff needing time to evaluate Vita's readiness, and for him to acclimate to the team's playing style.[12]

On 8 January 2022, he made his Barnsley debut in a thrilling 5–4 FA Cup win over Barrow after extra time.[13] His league debut following on 25 January, where he replaced Jasper Moon in the 87th minute of a 3–0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.[14] He was a starter during the second half of the season, and Vita made a total of 20 appearances for Barnsley, who suffered relegation at the end of the season.[1][15][16]

Fortuna Sittard

Vita joined Eredivisie club Fortuna Sittard on 5 July 2022, for an undisclosed fee, and signed a four-year contract.[17][18] He made his debut for the club on 27 August, replacing Mickaël Tırpan in the 84th minute of a 2–1 league defeat against Heerenveen.[19][20] On 17 September, he scored his first goal for Fortuna, a late winner in their 1–0 league victory against Excelsior.[21] Mainly a substitute at the start of the season, Vita made his first start for the club on 19 October in a 3–2 KNVB Cup loss to NEC.[22][23]

Born in France, he was called up to the Madagascar national team for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches against Ghana and Angola on 1 and 5 June 2022.[24]
